GET NIJ INTERCEPTS BY OCCUPANT TYPE AND LOAD TYPE

Looks up the Nij intercept value for a given occupant type (CRABI, Hybrid III variants) and axial/bending load type (tension, compression, flexion, extension). Use this worker to retrieve the normalisation intercept constants required before computing the Nij neck-injury criterion score.

When to use

Classification: process.

Tagged: crabi, fmvss_208, hybrid_iii, injury_criteria, intercept, neck_injury_criterion, neck_load, nij.

Inputs

Label ID Type Default Required Description
Occupant Type occupant_type scalar crabi_12_month_old_infant   Dummy/occupant category used to select the correct Nij intercept table; choose from CRABI 12-month infant or one of the Hybrid III family (3YO, 6YO, small female, mid-sized male); defaults to ‘crabi_12_month_old_infant’.
Load Type load_type scalar tension   Axial or bending load direction for which the Nij intercept is needed (tension, compression, flexion, or extension); defaults to ‘tension’.
Scale scale text 1   Optional scalar multiplier applied to the retrieved intercept value before output; leave at the default of 1 to return the unscaled standard intercept.

Outputs

Label ID Type Description
injury_get_nij_intercept_output_1 injury_get_nij_intercept_output_1 text The Nij normalisation intercept value (force in N or moment in Nm, depending on load type) for the specified occupant and load combination, optionally scaled.
